Deep Sea Freight Transportation federal obligations in Maryland (NAICS 483111)

The NAICS 483111 filter plus Maryland

NAICS 483111 and place-of-performance state MD meet here. $198,019,338.80 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not nationwide Deep Sea Freight Transportation, not Maryland's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Maryland 483111 is deep-sea freight, not inland barge traffic and not a Port of Baltimore vessel census. 483111 is Deep Sea Freight Transportation, not inland water freight or warehousing. Port-call and ocean-freight folklore and federal-suburb and port-city folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not extra packet dollars and not a census of vessels or voyages.

93 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a modest award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank Maryland against other states and does not name carriers inside the extract. Unique vendors are unpublished.

Open Maryland federal spending for the statewide rollup, NAICS 483111 for the industry hub, Maryland industries for other NAICS in the same geography, and All spending ties for other pairs. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $198,019,338.80.

Mean obligation of about $2,129,240.20

Dividing $198,019,338.80 by 93 yields about $2,129,240.20 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical ocean-freight or sealift award. A second deep-sea freight join in another state uses the same NAICS and a different dollar total. Do not treat Maryland's 483111 figure as a synonym for every Deep Sea Freight Transportation award in the catalog.

Port-call and ocean-freight folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Industry titles on NAICS 483111 are the place to see what a given line bought. Federal-suburb and port-city folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars or carriers.

Place of performance versus deep-sea freight folklore

The industry hub for NAICS 483111 aggregates Deep Sea Freight Transportation without requiring MD geography. Maryland federal spending aggregates all industries with Maryland place of performance. Maryland industries lists other NAICS in Maryland. Only this tie applies both the 483111 filter and the Maryland geography tag, which is why it cites 93 awards and $198,019,338.80.

Place of performance in Maryland is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list MD while later ocean carriage occurs in Virginia or the District of Columbia. deep-sea freight awards coded to those places do not sit in this total even if a vendor's mailroom is in Baltimore. This packet does not split Baltimore from Annapolis or Bethesda. Baltimore, Annapolis, and Bethesda are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals.

The obligation field

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $198,019,338.80 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Maryland over-reads the field. USAspending.gov NAICS aggregates by place of performance state are the source.

Award count 93 is a record count, not a payment count and not a unique-contractor census. Catalog lines, delivery orders, and modifications can each mint a row. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use Maryland industries and NAICS 483111. Keep the obligation word on $198,019,338.80.

What the join is not

A large deep-sea freight total in Maryland does not mean the industry caused Maryland's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between federal-suburb and port-city folklore and 483111 awards is expected; it is not a finding about waste or plant quality. No performance metric is in the packet. Maryland 483111 is deep-sea freight, not inland barge traffic and not a Port of Baltimore vessel census.

Keep $198,019,338.80 labeled as NAICS 483111 obligations with Maryland place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. Do not claim that donations paid for $198,019,338.80 in Maryland. No contractor or award-recipient names are in the packet, and none are invented.

Citing $198,019,338.80 without over-reading it

A clean footnote names NAICS 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation), Maryland place of performance, $198,019,338.80 in obligations, and 93 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $198,019,338.80 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $2,129,240.20 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical ocean-freight or sealift award.

Maryland federal spending, NAICS 483111, Maryland industries, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $198,019,338.80 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Baltimore-versus-Annapolis folklore is not a metro split in this packet. Carriers names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Correlation is not causation.
